We used to use performance cycle counter for cycles(),
but it is kind of useless in userspace as each core
has its own counter and hence not comparable between
cores. Also, the cycle counter stops counting when
the cores are idle.
Most callers expect cycles() to return a high resolution
timestamp instead, so do the best we can do here
and enable the userspace generic timer virtual counter.
sbrk(0) returns the current end address of the BSS segment,
not the base. This might have been confused with the behaviour
of segbrk(), which when given a zero address returns the base.
We need a way to parse a rsa certificate request and return the public
key and subject names. The new function X509reqtoRSApub() works the
same way as X509toRSApub() but on a certificate request.
We also need to support certificates that are valid for multiple domain
names (as tlshand does not support certificate selection). For this
reason, a comma separated list is returned as the certificate subject,
making it symmetric to X509rsareq() handling.
A little helper is provided with this change (auth/x5092pub) that takes
a certificate (or a certificate request when -r flag is provided) and
outputs the RSA public key in plan 9 format appended with the subject
attribute.
There are a number of alphabets in common use for base32
and base64 encoding, such as url-safe encodings.
This adds support for passing a function to encode into
arbitary alphabets.
Authsrv(6) used to be called auth(6) before
the fourth edition and was preprocessed by
eqn(6) before the third edition. The mkfile
was never updated to reflect the changes.
All other files are accounted for:
% cd /sys/man
% for(i in TS EQ PS G1) echo $i `{grep -l '^\.'$i ?/[0-9a-z]*}
TS 1/tbl
EQ 1/eqn 3/usb
PS 1/pic
G1 1/grap

Since we now store /dist/plan9front in git, the
initial assumption that the owner of the repo
is the person touching it is not always true.
This change gives us a better heuristic for the
file permissions we should have in the files we
copy around, basing it off of the permissions of
the .git directory.
For 64-bit architectures, the a.out header has the HDR_MAGIC flag set
in the magic and is expanded by 8 bytes containing the 64-bit virtual
address of the programs entry point. While Exec.entry contains physical
address for kernel images.
Our sysexec() would always use Exec.entry, even for 64-bit a.out binaries,
which worked because PADDR(entry) == entry for userspace pointers.
This change fixes it, having the kernel use the 64-bit entry point
and document the behaviour in the manpage.
